3 Learning Objectives Review the classification scheme for GE junction cancers Review workup and evaluation Review Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy

4 Epidemiology Esophageal Cancer is 6 th leading cause of death worldwide Incidence has been rising in Western countries ~17,000 cases anticipated 2015 in US Adenocarcinoma 70% Obesity, GERD, Barretts Squamous Cell Carcinoma 30% Tobacco, Alcohol

5 Squam Esophageal Adeno Adeno Melanoma Prostate Breast/lung/ colon Distal 1/3 Pohl & Welch, JNCI 2005

6 Cancer at the GE Junction Siewart Classification I located in the distal 5 cm of esophagus, but does not cross GE junction II centered around the GE junction III greater than 5 cm distal to the GE junction Treated as Gastric Cancer Marriette, Lancet Onc 2011

7 Patient Examples of GE Junction Cancer Esophageal Cancer I/II Gastric Cancer III

8 Evaluation of the Esophageal Mass High quality endoscopy Defines the anatomic esophagogastric junction Describes the anatomic location Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) Assessment of T-stage; Nodal involvement FNA of suspicious node CT / PET

9 Staging of Esophageal Cancer T Stage T1a : lamina propria, muscularis mucosa T1b : submucosa T2 : muscularis propria T3 : adventitia T4 : adjacent structures N Stage N1 : 1-2 nodes N2 : 3-6 nodes N3 : > 7 nodes J Thoracic Surg 2017

10 Accuracy of EUS for T Stage / Nodes Operator dependent Very good at early vs late (ie T1 vs T3/4) More difficult discerning between earlier lesions (ie T1a vs T1b vs T2) Review of 107 patients with early stage (Tis, T1) compared to final pathology Understaging: 30% of T1a 49% of T1b Overstaging: 29% of T1a 51% of T1b J Thor and Cardiovas Surg 2014

11 Risk of Nodal Disease Based on T stage Lymph node involvement greatest predictor of prognosis T stage is best predictor of lymph node involvement Squam us T1 T1a T1b T2 T3 T4 20% 0-3% 5-40% 40 % Adeno 10% 0-2% 0-40% 50 % 60 % 80 % 80 % 90 % Clin Endosc 2014

12 Staging Laparoscopy Used selectively in patient with Type II/III tumors Yield is variable (5%-30%) Extraluminal assessment of tumor location Evaluate future conduit Placement of feeding jejunostomy

13 Early Stage (T1, N0) Endoscopic Therapies for Tis or T1a EMR / ESD followed by ablation Esophagectomy Locally Advanced (T2 or N+) Neoadjuvant therapy Metastatic Definitive Chemotherapy

14 Endoscopic Therapies Endoscopic Mucosal Resection Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection Ablation of Surrounding Barrett s

18 CROSS Trial

19 CROSS Patterns of Recurrence CRT had lower local recurrence rate Anastomosis: 2.8% vs 8.7% Mediastinum: 7.0% vs 20.5% CRT had lower distant recurrence rate Carcinomatosis: 4.2% vs 13.7% Hematogenous: 28.6% vs 35.4% No difference in Nodal recurrence Celiac, Periaortic, Supraclavicular Oppedijk et al. JCO :385

20 MAGIC Trial Evaluated Perioperative Chemotherapy vs Surgery Alone Gastric Cancer including the lower 1/3 of esophagus 25% were GE Jxn (11%) or Esophageal (14%) Epirubicin/Cisplatin/Fluoruracil 3 cycles preop / 3 cycles post op 86% of patients completed preop chemo 55% started post op chemo 41% of patients assigned to the chemotherapy group completed all 6 cycles
